Well it is very slow displaying every time you left-click the clock to display the popup... but its working for me, displaying weather and the sunrise map fine. The slowness may be the lack of caching or preemptive loading for the map (just a guess).
It crashed a first time when I wanted to "Find..." a location. After managing to choose a location and changing temperature to Celsius and wind speed to km/h, it still didn't display any weather details anywhere.
Before, in Rawhide, it crashes already when taking a harmless look at the new weather-related preferences. ;)
On the contrary, with F8 the separate weather applet displays a small icon and the temperature always. And left-click on it displays the "Current conditions" dialog immediately.
If you have not tried this in awhile (last 2 weeks or so) remove the clock from your panel, kill gnome-panel, and then add the clock again.
Last time I started doing that in rawhide, it refused to load. I could have started to look for old config values and get rid of them. But instead, I installed F9 Alpha. So, the experience with the new clock applet code is with F9 Alpha installed on Feb 10th, then updated to Rawhide on the same day.
